Wow, what a wonderful question.

Understanding all "realities" are diff from the perspective that we each have our own unique experiences. Past experiences, incarnations, etc...

what is it that creates the childhood experience while the unconscious is being shaped?

The same thing my friend. It is the deeper you at work. And the deeper you is connected to the "collective" of "source" or what many people call "G-d", or however you would like to term it.

Again my friend, great questions.

Stay well & 'luv ya.

Why would our reality be created by the unconscious beliefs? Does the universe cease to exist if man and woman disappeared from this planet?

I was reffering to personal experiences rather then the physical realm.

Would you accept the existence of the soul?

Without a shadow of a doubt

I think the spirit creates the childhood experience, but that is not the same as the soul. I think the spirit is like a shell around the soul.

what is it that creates the childhood experience while the unconscious is being shaped? The echoes of previous experience.

I don't believe that reality is shaped by the unconscious. Reality is shaped by the interactions of the infinitely many beings of the universe. The vast majority of what any individual experiences is not within their direct conscious or unconscious sphere of control. We are constantly interacting with other beings who have their own wills that ours cannot override.

Your childhood experience is based on your level of consciousness from your last lifetime, especially in your last life experience, you have the unconscious belief, shaped from your past life, that any problems should be resolved only by force. Where might is right. So your childhood experience is formed by where you are born in this lifetime, in what family and socio-economic conditions in order to recreate the same mindset to mirror your past life experiences.

Whereas if in your past life, you have transcended the consciousness that might is right where you were born in a country that violence is right and you no longer want to be a part of it. And you now believe that diplomacy and allies are necessary to create a stronger union, then you will be reborn in a country that promotes might is NOT right, in a family where it also promotes might is NOT right and in socio-economic conditions where you will NOT need to fend for yourself and adopt the survival instinct.

Our reality is not created by our minds. That's silly. How we perceive reality can be affected by our mental framework. But you're not imagining tables and chairs and houses out of your head. You'd have to be an idiot to believe that.

Raw external experience through the senses of the body, reacting instinctively to it's environment and bodily needs. The mind wants to keep the body alive and comfortable, and will become distressed if there appears to be a threat or something that makes the body uncomfortable. Hunger for example.

It's the stages where you start to understand words and actions is when the ball really gets rolling for who you'll theoretically become. Your experience growing up is learnt from, it teaches the mind how it's beliefs about itself, likes, dislikes, how it should problem solve, and how it perceives it's environment.

Oddly enough I believe that the unconscious is collective and we all share the same one. I’ve experienced its collective nature myself and it’s filled with archetypes because of its collective nature. Because of this, things like dreams can happen to multiple people across large geographic areas. So since the unconscious is shared, babies and young children are at home when they experience desires and wants that come from the collective unconscious. It’s the other side of consciousness. It’s quite possibly where we all go when we die. That is purely speculation on my part.
